 If you use screen blanking on Mac OS X, MythTV dutifully wakes the screen
 (maybe accidentally) when you hit a button on the Apple remote, but it
 then interprets that button press, resulting in an action that the user
 can't possibly have intended (because the user is acting blindly).

 You can probably solve this by calling CGDisplayIsAsleep() on the main
 display and throwing away the event if that returns true.  That said, I'm
 not certain of this; the display might already be awake by the time you
 get that event, in which case you would have to use... probably
 CGDisplayRegisterReconfigurationCallback (and, later,
 CGDisplayRemoveReconfigurationCallback) to register for notifications so
 that you can throw away events for... say a second after receiving
 notification that the display is active (drawable).

 Either way, it's not a major bug, more of a "nice to have" that would
 improve usability.
